As the name suggests Mucormycosis or black fungus is a fungal disease. The mould ‘mucor’ is found almost every- where--- in soil, air, plants, rot- ting fruits and vegetables. It can be found even in the nasal pas- sage and mucus of healthy peo- ple.

It targets sinuses, the brain and lungs.

State govern- ments are also not leaving any- thing to chance and are ensur- ing hospital beds and medicines for patients of black fungus.
